  • Our approach to Ballast recycling is where our high standards shine

    Ballast recycling is another assurance of our high standards of environmental protection. Metal components from the ballast such as copper and steel are collected for recovery and reuse. The PCB containing capacitors and any PCB contaminated asphalt potting material are thoroughly destroyed at a permitted facility.
